What's Wrong?

Claude Code suddenly stopped working mid-session with the error "Output blocked by content filtering policy". The tool successfully reads files and writes todos, but then fails when generating the response.

What Should Happen?

Cloude should implement changes

Additional Information

Troubleshooting attempted:

Downgraded Claude Code version — no effect
Disabled all custom slash commands — no effect
Started fresh session (no resume) — no effect
Verified CLAUDE.md and settings.json contain no unusual content

Notes:

The project worked fine for ~1 month with no issues
No new code or content was added before the error started
The error occurs consistently, not intermittently

Could you please check what triggered the content filter for these request IDs? This appears to be a false positive.

This issue happend midway.
I prompted Claude with 38 lines to edit a class.
Claude created a plan and clarified information which was already written in my prompt, but this is not the issue.
After doing half of the implementation, it crashed with this error, then wrote

1 tasks (0 done, 1 in progress, 0 open)                                                                                 
■ Implement Warning system 

Resetting the powershell didn't work.
